The welcoming banquet was quite enjoyable for both the host and the guests.
When the show was over, Mengshan stopped Shen Jinyan and told him, "Look up and marry your daughter, and bow your head to marry your wife. You are not in the right in this matter. When you meet those seniors tomorrow, you should lower your attitude."
Of course, Shen Jinyan knew this truth, "I understand, brother."
"For the sake of you calling me brother." Meng Shan put his arm around Shen Jinyan's shoulders and said to him in a low voice: "There will be a test waiting for you two tomorrow. If you really love Meng Jin, you will naturally pass it."
"If you fail to pass..." Mengshan suddenly smiled fiercely and said, "Even if you get married, I have the means to make you divorce."
Shen Jinyan's heart was filled with awe. He nodded seriously and said, "I won't give you that chance."
The next day, Shen Ji'an and his wife took Shen Jinyan, Shen He and others to the Meng family.
The Meng family is a very large family with many members.
Generally, when the clan has important matters to discuss, they will gather in the meeting hall of Mengzhuang.
Land is very expensive in Hong Kong, and Mengzhuang is built on the hillside of Qingshui Bay in Hong Kong, occupying almost half of the mountain.
The meeting hall is at the highest point and is a European church-style building.
Mengshan came to pick them up personally and led them all the way to the meeting room.
There were seven gorgeous sofa chairs placed in the front of the hall, and the chair in the middle was empty, which was Mengshan's seat.
The six most respected elders of the Meng family sat on both sides, while Meng Jin, her parents, and her 12-year-old brother stood on the left.
There is a row of chairs on the right.
Shen He counted and found that there were 7 chairs in total, but there were 8 people on their side.
Seeing this, Shen He secretly glanced at Shen Jinyan, “Be more humble later.”
Shen Jinyan also discovered that one chair was missing.
Obviously, the missing one is his.
"Um."
Several elders knew Su Ming, but they did not know Su Jin and Tang Ji.
Meng Shanbian acted as a middleman and took the initiative to introduce the elders of both parties.
Facing the three old men, the six elders were very kind and respectful.
Even the elders of the Meng family have no right to put on airs in front of real scientific research and medical giants.
After the elders from both sides met, Mengshan quickly said to the chief steward, "Mengyao, please invite the distinguished guest to take a seat."
A steward in a tuxedo with slightly graying temples walked out from behind the elders and politely invited Tang Ji and the others to sit on the sofa.
As soon as we sat down, several maids brought us tea and snacks.
Sitting on the first chair was Tang Ji, followed by Su Jin, Su Ming, Song Jingcheng and Chen He, and finally Shen Mingli and Sang Mingying.
After all, they are Shen Jinyan's parents.
Noticing that Meng Jin's parents didn't even have a chair, Chen He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to his uncle, "Uncle, as the boy's parents, the Meng family has arranged a seat for us."
"It seems that today's matter can be accomplished."
Uncle San also knew this truth. He looked worriedly at Shen Jinyan, who was standing in the middle of the hall, as if he had committed a crime and was waiting to be interrogated. He felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know how they will make things difficult for Jin Yan."
Sang Mingying has been taking the medicine prescribed by Su Jin recently, and her complexion looks much better.
When she heard this, she said, "He did something stupid on his own, so he should bear the consequences himself."
"Even if he was beaten to the ground today, he deserved it."
After hearing this, Uncle San didn't dare to say anything.
Sang Mingying did not deliberately lower her voice. When the elders of the Meng family heard this, their expressions looked a little better.
A trial finally began.
"Chen Jinyan." The one who spoke was the old man sitting on Mengshan's left. He looked to be about eighty years old, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, and looked like a very kind old man.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, no one dared to say a word.
Shen Jinyan looked up at the old man, bent down slightly and called out, "Second Grandpa."
This man is Meng Shan and his family’s second grandfather, Meng Xuande. He was once the most famous ace lawyer in Gangcheng and worked for the Gangcheng government.
He is a very prestigious person.
The old man squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Jinyan for a moment before saying, “You and Meng Jin have indeed obtained a marriage certificate, right?”
Shen Jinyan and Meng Jin exchanged a glance, then said in a gentle but firm voice, "Yes, Meng Jin and I are indeed a legally recognized couple."
"Then did you know that Meng Jin was originally engaged?"
"Know."
"Meng Jin." Meng Xuande called Meng Jin's name again.
Meng Jin walked to Shen Jinyan's side and stood side by side with him.
The old man stared at the two people in front of him and had to admit that the two of them standing together were indeed a match made in heaven.
With Shen Jinyan's potential and influence, he is more than qualified to marry Meng Jin.
If Shen Jinyan came to the Meng family to propose according to the normal marriage procedures, these old guys would definitely agree.
But unfortunately, he and Meng Jin didn't get married early or late, but only appeared after Meng Jin reached the marriage age stipulated by the Meng family and had a marriage partner.
"Meng Jin."
Xuande spoke calmly, "Any member of the clan who has benefited from the family's dividends must comply with the marriage arranged by the family. Meng Jin, you are aware of this and agree with it, right?"
Meng Jin replied, "I know everything."
"According to family rules, any woman in the clan who has not met a suitable marriage partner by the age of 27 must accept the marriage arranged by the family."
"And you just happened to turn 27 earlier this month."
"According to the clan's rules, we have arranged for Mr. Zhou Jingheng to be your marriage partner."
